What should I do for cooling? I know a lot of you guys are way ahead of me as far as mods go so just bear with me, you had to go through the same. (but when I graduate I'm getting heads hopefully). If i get the 160* stat, should i get a fan switch or the HPP3 for the fans? Would they put stress on the motor from mor work? and with the switch you still maintian stock settings so it you engine wont overheat if you dont turn them on right?

Hey! All questions are welcomed! I have the HPP3 and the Hypertech 160 degree thermostat. The car always runs cool! The biggest difference that I noticed was that after a 20-30 minute lapping session on a road course, the temp indicator was still way-y-y down there (not gonna bore you with Celsius temp readings!) Without this combo, I would need to do about 5 min of "cool-down" laps around a parking lot with the A/C on (and therefore both fans)to get the temp reading back down into the "normal' range.
Best regardSS,

Re: What should I do for cooling? Ditto all the way on the above post!
The Hpp3 + 160 stat is the best cooling combo for an LS1. I have hotlapped my car at the track over 30 passes and never saw temps above 185 <img src="images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0">
